FET enjoyed a successful attendance at September’s Cinte Techtextil China exhibition in Shanghai. Sharing an extended stand with its agent and partner, Chemtax Industrial Co, FET secured new fibre extrusion systems as well as upgrades for existing clients with a combined potential value of more than US$2m.

FET specialises in laboratory and pilot melt spinning systems for high performance textile materials and supplies high end equipment to over 35 countries on five continents. The company’s agent, Chemtax, supports and enables FET to effectively reach China and its immediate area both geographically and culturally.

Cinte Techtextil China is Asia’s leading biennial trade fair for technical textile and nonwoven products. With the rapid growth in the China market, the demand for high quality technical textile is enormous and the previous show in 2016 saw a record-breaking 480 exhibitors from 26 countries. It is therefore an ideal medium for FET to showcase its range of products and ability to find technical solutions for manufacturers of high value textile materials, in demanding and precise environments. The exhibition was well attended, and FET was able to make face-to-face contact with customers old and new.

Once again, the focal point of the stand was the FET-100 Series multi-functional laboratory and pilot melt spinning system. The FET-100 offers considerable flexibility with interchangeable pilot and production formats including multifilament, monofilament and nonwoven. It is ideal for a wide range of research and development platform requirements.

FET will next be attending Techtextil Frankfurt, Germany, and ITMA Barcelona, Spain, with its own bespoke exhibition stand in May and June 2019 respectively.
